This word can make connection to my life in so many ways. When it comes to me talking about my life and being personal, I'm very stolid. I don't like talking about myself much because i feel like what other people have to say is more important. Plus, my life is not quite exciting. I find that listening to everyone else's happiness makes me happy too. I'm not very open, which also can mean a stolid. Although i might have something to say, I most likely won't say it unless it is extremely important. When i heard the news about my mom getting surgery, i was very stolid. I didn't know weather to be happy she was being helped or sad because something can go wrong. Thankfully the surgery was just her getting her appendix out. Sometimes i can connect to being stolid when im tired. It's just like being a statue in the middle of class surrounded by smiling faces everywhere you look. Sometimes i can be the only one smiling and laughing while everyone else around me is stolid about something that maight have happened. I guess stolid is almost like personality.
The word Stolid connects to the movie Cast Away because when the man is stranged on the island, he has no one to talk to, forcing him to be stolid. He has absolutely no one on the island with him and no electronics to call for help. He is very lucky to have survived the plane crash because nobody else did. Sometimes during the movie i thought he would be better off dead. He kept pushing and climbing his way through the rough times during the storms and adventure to find food, but he eventaully finds his way home. If i were to be stranded on the island for an exrtremely long time, i would be stolid because there is no reason to smile and because there is no one there to have a conversation with besides trees and sand. When he felt lonely he make a face out of a ball and talked to that. The face was very stolid too because, well, it was not a real person!
When the girls mother found out her son had died in a car accident, she was stolid because she was in such a great shock.
